Context of Psalms 10:13
11He says to himself, “God has forgotten; He has hidden His face; He will never see it.” 12Arise, Lord; God, lift up Your hand. Do not forget the humble. Why has the wicked treated God disrespectfully? He has said to himself, “You will not require an account.” 14You have seen it, for You have looked at harm and provocation to take it into Your hand. The unfortunate commits himself to You; You have been the helper of the orphan. 15Break the arm of the wicked and the evildoer, Seek out his wickedness until You find none.
